Imagine meeting the love of your life at GeekCon.

You work as a nanny for months just to save up enough money for a geeked-out bender in the city. You hone your programming skills whenever you have free time. You mod games, you play games, you build games from scratch.
All this hard work to be beaten in the Hack-a-Thon by a small-time gamer called Lyle “Behemøth” Romeo. At least Petra won the overall GamingComp award…
The two-day GeekCon festival saw Petra Hilde battle cosplayers dressed as the grim reaper and anime characters, people who have never left their mother’s basements, and hackers and gamers that were so casual that they could not tell the difference between phishing and fishing. There were some pros in the mix, but no one she felt intimidated by.
When Petra won the R.E.F.U.G.E. tournament, she heard some men say, “Wow, she won the competition?” and others say “Wow, she won the competition!” She accepted her small trophy with pride and took advantage of all the free coffee she was offered. She needed to stay focused, after all, as she still had Road Rival Alpha and Incredible Sports tournaments in the afternoon.
She was crowned champion of Incredible Sports, and placed third in Road Rival Alpha. With some guy named John placing first, and Lyle placing second. She let them have that one.
Petra spent the night in the motel room she rented, programming and hacking her nerves away. She knew her skills were top notch, but she felt disappointed in herself. In her head, despite recognising it as fantasy, she would come to the city, win everything, and swagger on home.
At 1am, a mysterious chat box appeared in the centre of Petra’s monitor. She could almost hear Lyle's faint Italian accent through the computer.
Behemøth: Rest up for the Hack-a-Thon, you’re gonna need it.
p@r@dox: you dont scare me romeo
Behemøth: Nice lingerie, btw.
Petra looked up at the built-in webcam on her laptop. The light was on. She stuck a Star Trek band aid on it, before she replied.
p@r@dox: if you get nervous, dont imagine me naked. might get too distracted.
p@r@dox: i wanna win fair n square.
Behemøth: I’ll just think about you now.
p@r@dox: perv
Behemøth: You look good in red, wear it more often.
Behemøth: ;)
…Behemøth has disconnected.
Petra had dreams of hacking him into oblivion that day.
She almost liked the competition. Almost.
